I just thought I would take a quick moment to explain the awesome next() feature of jQuery.
I recently used it for a site I was coding for the wonderful @divinefusion, I will link when its live.

So my good twitter friend @tomsturge had an idea that when people came onto his site from a certain place that they would get a small welcome message.
His idea was to have his link with a specific # at the end, in his case #twitter, that when people entered his site via that URL it would trigger a small welcome box.
He asked me for some help as of how to do this with jQuery, although I am by no means a jQuery master, after a bit of thought it all came together.
The tutorial probably wont be the best and most efficient way to create something, but I wanted to show you how easy jQuery can be to get into.

Well I did say before Christmas that I was going to do this… It has taken a long time for many reasons, mainly because of the holidays and the fact that I have had a few jobs on the go. So for those who care, my apologies.
Following on from the above, I’m now going to almost get out of writing a beginners guide to jQuery. Why? Because I have found one of the best resources that I have seen yet.
Thanks to the guys at Theme Forest, from that “small” network of sites by Envanto (who seem to be slowly taking over the design community) for this awesome 15 part video tutorial to kick start you into your jQuery Career! (Links below)
My goal next is to try and get some project tutorials up, so hopefully as I make something I can pass on the knowledge goodness!
Other news: I have decided to split up my sign/vinyl making and Websites/graphics – So there should be a new site emerging soon that will house all of my digital services. You will be able to find it here

I am starting on the wonderful road to becoming enlightened with jQuery. What I have decided to do is create a semi regular post, describing what I have learnt and explaining how to do things as I learn them. Hopefully this should help some of you guys if you want to start to learn.
Why jQuery? Well it’s like a light weight JavaScript. I have always wanted to learn a good strong design scripting language that would help me develop my web building skills. jQuery will give me the scripting experience to then go on and learn more languages like it. jQuery also has a familiar way of selecting objects to manipulate, using CSS ID’s and Class’ which is great for someone like me!
As they say, who ever “they” are, “Stay tuned folks” and in the next few days you should see the appearance of my first jQuery tutorial style blog post.
